  • What Are the Best Liquidity Proxies for Global Research?*
    What Are The Best Liquidity Proxies For Global Research?* Kingsley Y. L. Fong Craig W. Holden** Charles A. Trzcinka University of New South Wales Indiana University Indiana University . March 2015 JEL classification: C15, G12, G20. Keywords: Liquidity, transaction costs, effective spread, price impact. * We thank seminar participants at Hong Kong University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Indiana University, Michigan State University, University of New South Wales, University of Sydney Microstructure Meeting, University of Technology, Sydney, and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

Tel.: + 1-812-855-3383; fax: + 1-812-855-5875: email address: cholden@ indiana.edu What Are The Best Liquidity Proxies For Global Research? Abstract We compare both monthly and daily liquidity proxies constructed from low-frequency (daily) stock data to corresponding liquidity benchmarks computed from high-frequency (intraday) data on 43 exchanges. We find that for both monthly and daily frequencies Closing Percent Quoted Spread strongly dominates all other percent-cost proxies for global research. It provides enormous performance gains over the monthly proxies that global research has used-to-date. At both daily and monthly frequencies, Closing Percent Quoted Spread also does the best job of capturing the level of percent effective spread and percent quoted spread. At both frequencies, High-Low does the best job of capturing the level of percent realized spread and percent price impact. These are the first findings at the daily frequency that liquidity proxies can perform well.

  • Master Ric User Guide
    ELEKTRON REAL TIME MIFID II MASTER RIC USER GUIDE Introduction to the Master RIC and why its important for MIFID II content. Document Version 3.2 Date of issue: 19 October 2018 Master RIC Guide Elektron is an industry leading suite of data and trading propositions, incorporating low latency feeds with an analytics, enterprise platform and transactional connectivity to support any workflow application. Elektron Real Time is the consolidated feed service. New venues and changes to existing venues were made throughout 2017 in response to the MiFID II regulation, with additional venues being added through 2018. For more detail, please refer to the roadmaps . Overview Elektron Real Time launched six new APA venues on 3 Jan 2018 with fourteen additional APA venues in scope for 2018. It also applied MiFID II related changes to 57 global exchanges already delivered on Elektron Real Time. This note provides an overview of the a new capability which allows consumers of APA content to optimize their discovery and consumption of APA pre-trade and post-trade instruments ensuring that their application receives the first trade or quote report associated with any reported instrument. Because of the almost infinite number of instruments that are now required to have trades reported on them to an APA, and the difficultly in knowing the full scope of potential instruments to monitor. The solution to the capacity and subscription race condition is addressed using a broadcast instrument called the Master RIC. The target audience is anyone with an interest in application development or management of a market data platform such as our Enterprise Platform within a firm looking to subscribe to the new APA services.
